County Prosecutors Won’t File Charges Against Shopper Who Used Pepper Spray On Black Friday

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Los Angeles County prosecutors will not file a felony case against a woman who allegedly used pepper spray while shopping at a Walmart store in Porter Ranch during a Black Friday sale.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office referred the potential case against Elizabeth Macias, 32, to the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office, a spokeswoman said Thursday.

The Black Friday incident made worldwide headlines, with authorities saying soon afterward that the pepper spray was used on a crowd as clerks unwrapped plastic from a shipment of Xbox electronic gaming consoles about 10 p.m. Thanksgiving night.

About 20 people suffered minor injuries, authorities said.

Macias, whose name was never officially released by authorities, went to the Los Angeles Police Department’s Devonshire station at 8:30 p.m. the following day and was released after declining to be interviewed, according to police.

Weren’t either of you required to take reading comprehension in school? READ THE WORDS IN THE STORY! The Los Angeles COUNTY District Attorney’s office referred the case to the Los Angeles CITY Attorney’s Office for prosecution because it occurred in the City of Los Angeles! DUH!

Nothing has been said about the Los Angeles CITY Attorney’s office declining to prosecute!

Corrupt “Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement – California Dept. of Justice” have killed a lot of people. An alarming number of them steal from suspects, sell drugs skimmed from busts and provide murder for hire.

May be she knows Judge or some body in LAPD. She pepper sprayed to innocent shopper. Around 20 plus shoppers got injured just because of her. On top of that she is not facing felony charges. That’s absolutely ridiculsely. It means anti social behaviour people like her will pepper spray in the future. She should be punished hard for her anti social behaviour so the people like her becarefull next time in the future.
